The construction of new railway tracks is based on the latest quality and safety requirements as well as on the experience and know-how acquired over more than 70 years of existence. Taking advantage of this experience MATISA has developed the latest generation of track construction trains (TCM) which can lay new tracks in continuous mode and achieve the highest level of output and precision. MATISA’s TCM have already laid thousands of kilometers of new tracks all over the world. They are a key actor in the rapid growth of the Chinese railway network. MATISA listens to your needs to develop and build track construction trains which will optimize the operation of your worksites.
The TCM 60 is a compact, high performance track construction train. It is fed by a gantry with a capacity of 20 sleepers. Its laying rate is of approximately 16 sleepers/minute. Its traction force allows working with a ~300 m long string of sleepers’ carrying wagons. Its specific tools allow the positioning of the sleepers on the ballast bed applying a precise sleepers spacing and squaring. The positioning of the rails on the sleepers will also fulfil the utmost precision requirements.
The TCM 80 The TCM 80 is the enhanced and high performance version of MATISA’s track construction trains. It is fed by a P 30 TR gantry with a capacity of 30 sleepers which loads them from a long string of sleepers’ wagons. When coupled with a WCA wagon, powered by 4 driven axles (optional), the TCM 80 can handle a string of up to 500 m long sleepers and rail wagons. Equipped with the same tools as the TCM 60, the association of those equipment enables an optimized organization, operation and output of your worksites.
The TCM 60 R is specifically designed to handle 2 different types of worksites :
The front trailer is used to link the renewed track to the existing track, its axle is suspended in the air whilst the machine is working.
As for the MATISA track renewal trains, the TCM 60 R, if equipped with a dynamic plough, can level and prepare the ballast bed prior to laying the sleepers.
